Very NICE!! I've passed right by your place on rt.3 several times. I ride my Honda around lake Erie once a year. Always wondered who lived in that beautiful area.

Only issue I have is that Habs photo hanging on the wall. You may want to take that down and hang up a nice photo of the Bruins.

Awesome smoke shack!

Around here that would take a building permit, an accessory structure permit, and a setback variance!

Did you go through all the motions with the local unit of government or "fly under the radar?" ;-)

Went legit all the way. The same builder that did our house did the shed. Didn't require a whole lot as we're in a pretty small town, but we did get a building permit and inspections both by the building and electrical inspectors. Just wasn't worth the risk to spend all that money, try cutting a few simple corners and deal with the hassle or be ordered to tear it down after the fact.

Very nice! I am officially jealous. How much would you say you spent building it all?
I'd ballpark it at around 15-20k - but keep in mind I didn't have to lift a finger for the most part. There's a bunch of things I could have done to cut costs here or there if I had any skill in construction or electrical or any patience for researching stuff. Just so happens I despise manual labor so the cost was likely higher than it needed to be, but that's a-ok with me.
